They wonderfully point out the cool things in episode 4.5 such as the references to "Slaughterhouse Five," the importance of The Black Rock, the new Hanso family member (from the auction scene), mentions of Charles Dickens, the overuse of "the numbers" and a theory of who might have opened the door on the ship. Was it THAT guy over there ---->?

Very cool!
I like this!
OK, with just a couple of weeks to go, let's get all caught up with the show.
Last thing we saw was Charlie's death, the weird funeral and the revelation of the shocking flash-forward with Jack and Kate.
Where will season #4 start? In the flash-forward moment or back on the island.
My feeling is that we won't see the flash-forward for a while; but I think it be cool for the show to cut between dual story-lines occurring with the same characters... one in the future and one on the island.
And what's with the weird city reflection below the LOST logo in the teaser spots?
Is anyone watching the mobisodes?
A compelling flashback, intriguing character interaction, new revelations and some forward momentum -- what's not to love about this Locke-centric episode?
What stood out for me:
The sleazebag dad: It's unsurprising that Daddy Dearest was involved with Locke's injury, but wow, I was shocked that it was that sudden and direct. I figured him more for someone who would hire a thug to attack Locke, or slam into him with a car.
So here's yet another handy lesson from sad-sack Locke: If you're dealing with a known sleazebag, especially one you suspect of murder, don't confront him alone. Non-island Locke was such a schmo, it's understandable -- if not necessarily forgivable -- that he wants to leave that life behind.
This theory has been floated, and I'm a believer: Daddy Dearest has just got to be the same con man who destroyed young Sawyer's family. His scumbagginess is far too vast to be confined to just one storyline.
And now Daddy Dearest is imprisoned on the island. Which makes me wonder:
This episode brought up a ton of new theories and mysteries!
• What really happened when "the sky turned purple" as Mr. Friendly (Tom) says? Why is it preventing everyone from getting off the island?
• What's Juliet's and Ben's "history"?
• Is Mittelos an anagram for "lost time"? Is the island some sort of time anomaly?
• Was Jacob's name in the brainwashing film a clue referring to Jacob, the true leader of the island?
• Were the Others recruited to be on the island the way Juliet was?
• What's the deal with Karl... and the brainwashing film... and the weird drum-and-bass/rave music?
